Article contains spolierswk10 resultsNew Japan's annual Mega Event, Wrestle Kingdom 10, just wrapped up! What an amazing night of action. This is the biggest show of the year in Japan and is held in the massive Tokyo Dome. Over 40, 000 rabid fans from Japan and around the world packed the stadium to witness history.

An 18-man New Japan Rumble opened the show. This match was a Battle Royal that saw a new entrant every 60 seconds. The Rumble featured current New Japan stars such as Jushin “Thunder” Liger, Rysuke Taguchi, Tiger Mask, Mascara Dorada, Kazushi Sakuraba, Manabu Nakanishi, Yoshi-Hashi, Satoshi Kojima, Hirioshi Tenzan, Captain New Japan and Yuji Nagata. It also featured legendary stars of the past such as The Great Kabuki, Hiro Saito, Shiro Koshinaka, Yoshiaki Fujiwara and King Haku. The shocker was Ring of Honor's own Cheeseburger entering the Rumble and lasting nearly 25 minutes! Cheeseburger showed the New Japan crowd heart and desire. He gave an epic performance before being eliminated by Yoshi-Hashi. Japanese legend Jado would be outlast everyone to be the winner!

In a match that saw so much flying it may have needed an air traffic controller, The Young Bucks pinned Rocky Romero to become the 4-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champions. The Bullet Club started the night off right here with a big championship victory.

The Briscoes made their debut for New Japan and had a huge impact. The Bullet Club came in as the established unit with home-field advantage. The double tough Yano and The Briscoes brought the fight, showing a brand of toughness never seen in New Japan. Yano clearly made the right call when he chose The Briscoes as partners, as they are forever in the history books as the inaugural IWGP Never Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Champions.
